Oh, right.

Just remembered what it was I wanted to say when I logged on. Synchronicity and stuff.

You know how life sometimes sends you what you're looking for or asking for?
I was complaining recently about a dearth in my life of, among other things, romance and adventure. In a week or so, my wife and I will be driving a harp to France, taking the Alpine route through Austria, Switzerland and France. For those of you in the Southern hemisphere, it's winter here right now. Adventure factors: Alps, winter, Doblo. Romance factors: harp, France, wife.
And I was thinking that I need a better home PC among other things, and the tech guy today told me about a used one he knew about, cheap. Not sure if I want it, but it's very likely.

    Just for the record, here are a few more things I need, life: sex, Macallan's single malt, a filling in that molar where the old one fell out, sex, a nice cello, a new suit, some clothes, a bookcase, a stereo, sex, literary mentors and muses, a laptop, a fat win in the lottery, a literary agent, sex, and a new shower head. Among other things.

Crossing the Alps in a Doblo? Uhm, better pack some elephants as well, just to be sure...

Just to beat anyone else to it, there's always the Mac Mini ( www.apple.com ). Less than €500 (less still with a student/teacher discount, if you can find a way to get one), and, y'know, high quality. But you have to use your old monitor and stuff.

Jeez. January is always the best time to travel on the continent, no tourists.

Sex. Don't you need sex? You'd better add sex to your wish list.

Dear Mig:

I'm on it.

#1! Yay!
Thanks Life. Horst: already, Oliver Stone has contacted me about film rights to the story of our trip, should we survive. Andy: I've been thinking about switching to Apple. I'm just so cheap and lazy. And I wouldn't say "no tourists" in January, just no tourists with sense. And cj, of course. CJ: you don't... you... but... that picture of you in the shower, toes that hot and you... pff. I've planned for ages now to take you out to lunch if I win the lotto. I'll just take you out to lunch, but I won't tell you I won the lottery, okay? Although I've probably blown it now by saying this. And: condoms, hrm. Maybe I'll slip a few into her luggage. Karan: thanks for the reminder. Life: yes, excellent.
